Poor baby - Amelia

Thursday 3rd Sept 09,

Sunny morning, at 0700H Amelia was awake and disturbing Mummy by climbing to her body, pulling her hair, lying on her stomach. Mummy had no choice but to wake up and comfort her back to sleep. She slept for another 2hrs after which we bathed her and feed her. She refuse to drink her milk maybe due to her diarrhoea and vommiting. Mummy tried to comfort her to have her afternoon nap. But then again she refuse to sleep and i came in to carry her out to play.

I brought her to Jayven's room, he was sleeping and i placed Amelia beside him and asked her to wake ShuShu up. The moment i placed Amelia down she tried to get up on her legs and lost her balance and fell down, head landing... It happen so fast that i had no time to react... She began screaming and i quickly carried her up. At this moment Mummy was alarmed by her screaming and carried her away from my arms. I notice that there was a huge bruise lump at Amelia's forehead!!!! I was shock to see such a huge lump! I felt terrible and guilty for not handling her well. We quickily rush to the clinic to see Doctor Heng. Doctor Heng advise us to monitor her behaviour, any signs of dizziness, of felt very tired or having fits must quickily sent Amelia to A&E. Regarding Amelia's diarrhoea and vomitting, Doctor Heng is saying that maybe due to poor hygiene, or our milk bottle's were not sterilzed properly or her hands were dirty.


Friday 4th Sept 09

Rainy morning. Thank god Amelia didn't develope any of the symptons Doctor Heng mention. Just that she still refuse to drink her milk and the medicine for her diarrhoea. This morning her stool was not as watery as before and she didn't vomit anymore. Just that she refuse to drink milk formula, soy formula... Only drinks water alone, we are afraid that she could not have enough energy to fight her illness. The lump on her forehead has reduced, but the bruises have not disperse. We would pin Amelia down to rub her forehead and she would cry and scream... We did that twice a day.

Uncle Yeo and Auntie Siling came to visit baby Amelia to see her condition. They recommended us to feed her with porridge water as that has more nutrition that just plain water. They also suggested to use a hard boiled egg to disperse her bruises. Thanks for the suggestion Yeo & Siling.

Really hope Amelia would recover from her illness and her forehead bruises be gone as soon as possible... Sorry baby Amelia, Daddy didn't do a good job in taking care of you...
